Glossary of Terms
posited to be both necessary and sufficient to render a complete
explanation of an event—substantiating the causal connection
between objects and processes.
Objective frame: The objective frame follows the objective user behaviors,
the product’s functions, and the physical entities. The objective
frame of the framework of objective causalities is the final result of
the work efforts managed under processes—the physical objects,
the product or service functions, and the objective behaviors that
were determined by the development team to result from the use of
the product or service or in anticipation of the product or service.
Objective measure: An objective measure is that which is quantifiable in
terms of performance. Objective measures include any item or
combination of items that are categorized as EMMI. Sometimes,
the terms “objective measures of performance” or “performance
measures” are used (United States Department of Defense 2010)
instead of objective measures. Every object has at least one objective measure (and most often several), since there is something
physical that is usually measurable (in the classic engineering and
physics sense). Objective measures are used in testing to determine
how well the object performs to a target value within the bounds of
a specified variance that is deemed to satisfy an objective for stability
(or quality).
Objective ontology: The objective ontology defines the semantics for objective frame. Specifically, the nature of being and reality are embodied
in the conceptualization of an object.
Objective value: Objective value is often characterized by measures of
amount (by numerical counting).
Performance: Performance is the action associated with a function.
Performance is measured by the extent to which various standards
are met.
Performance-based value: Performance-based value is the recognition of
utility by the objective measure of some aspect of a function, or the
subjective measure of some aspect of a process or procedure. There
are different types of value spanning use, esteem, cost, exchange,
scrap, and various performances as compared with standard references. Value can be thought of both for objects and processes.
Performance measures: Performance measures are observed and measured
according to a reference scale or standard of measurement.
Perspective: The way of determining, identifying, considering, and using
facts and their relative importance.*
Physical boundary: Determined by the limits of matter of one object.
Power: At the fundamental level of interaction, power is the limit imposed
by one object on its EMMI. The result of power is change or status
quo. Said another way, power is both an object’s EMMI and the
object’s constraints that limits another object’s access to EMMI.
